    Pacquiao - Cotto
    Martinez- Williams II
    Barrera - Morales III
    Jones - Hopkins I
    Forrest - Mosley

    I don't consider Mosley-DLH. It has to be convincing to crack this list for me.

    I think the idea is to add new names to the list, not just to repeat one's that have already been mentioned. :patsch

    "Best win" is often a criteria itself for greatness. The quality of the fighter beaten at the time they were beaten, particularly under the circumstances. So the highest rated wins.

    Does the thoroughness of the victory matter? A shutout KO is more impressive than a 7-5 points victory right?
